| PGP Action Short Film #9 Astoria C&R Gator's (24:00) | |
| Absolute bonkers catch & release sturgeon fishing in Astoria Oregon with my family and Kevin Newells family. If double and triple hookups for hours were not enough the day would top out with 7 and 10 foot fish released! I was very impressed with Kevin and Lacy's knowledge of not only the fishing but the fishing industry itself. When Kevin is not guiding he is hard at work for NSIA. Lots of firsts for the Lady’s on board this day, well all I can say is "Holy Friggin Barrel!" Our first film release of the New Year!!! Enjoy! This movie has been seen times |

| PGP Action Short Film #8. Blood in the Boat (20:00) | |
| You will not want to miss this one! Friend and pro guide David Johnson takes a day off and asks me to join him and Andy "Coho" Schneider for a day fishing drift of boat style for spring chinook. I had been waiting for an opportunity to teach back bouncing and plug methods and on this day we would get both. David and Andy are always such a pleasure to fish with and to be able to share the learning from our day with everyone is an even greater bonus! Even if you have your methods down I urge you to take a look at this short film, you will not be disappointed. Plenty of chromer nooker action with loads of methods and tips all in one 20 minute package. This movie has been seen times |

| PGP Action Short Film #7 Claws In The Sand (17:21) | |
| Collect and transport Sand shrimp or Ghost shrimp for use as bait with shrimping guns. A showcase of coastal wildlife and music by acoustic artists Andy McKee. A very enjoyable family oriented film. Nothing I love more then a day at the beach with my family and friends! Freeze fresh caught shrimp the night you get them you will have fishable tails. You can always add shrimp scent oil to them after they thaw out. For long term storage cover in Borax to avoid freezer burn. This movie has been seen times |

| PGP Action Short #5 Coastal Fall Chinook (19:19) | |
| Late in 2006 I had the pleasure of a raft trip with Mark Anderson [Owner of First Bite Jigs] on the Oregon coast for fall chinook. Rains had left the coastal rivers high for weeks and as they began to fall into the "perfect green" we would hook several nice fish on a variety of bait and tackle. Mark shows us an awsome hen caught and released on a pink salmon jig fished under a float. A very memorable day and a beautiful short film that was a pleasure to experiance and to produce.

| PGP Action Short #4 Wild Coastal Salmon (20:05) | |
| Reel burning, gut busting monster wild coastal Coho steal the show in this one. On a day when the primary target was Chinook that had been thick the week before, the incidental Coho prove themselves to be on the move and simply to thick too avoid without going home. I take one of the largest Coho I have ever caught, he’s a beauty! It is always amazing to me how much harder the wild fish fight. This has been a great year for big fish and this film is the proof of that. This movie has been seen times |

| PGP Action Short #3 Opening Day Archery 2006 (14:16) | |
| PGP Action Short #2 Late Season Day (16:04) | |
| This film is more educational based then the Coho Demo. This takes place on a day later in the season when waiting stacks of fish blast hard after a rain brings the rivers up to a perfect flow. A mix of both bright and dark fish show as they make their way into the home tributary. Fly rod drift fishing tactics are in full play along with footage of huge packs of fish splashing their way upstream. Filmed on Oregons Clackamas River. This movie has been seen times |

| 3oz Bobber Rigging for Chinook Salmon PGP QC #6 (10:00) | |
| How to set up a 3oz bobber system for fishing in big deep boily holes. Chinook like to suspend in these types of holes at the 10 to 18 foot level. Drift rigs will only fall through the fish but this system will carry the bait right to their faces. I have caught many hundreds of spring and fall chinook salmon over the last 16 years fishing this way and now its your turn to learn how to do it. This movie has been seen times |

| No Foul Hook Method PGP QC #3 (7:22) | |
| The world was not ready for this film. Having had my moral and ethical values questioned over this film I realized that people who knew me had approved the film for release but I had not considered one thing. The rest of the world did not know me. I am currently undecided as to if I will let this film ride again for very long. I had hoped to show a method to relax foul hooking and snagging problems that occure in well fished stack holes by anglers with the typical jackass mantality. I have grown tired of snaggers and foul hookers in low water. I felt that if people with honor about them did learn this method that they could set an example for others to follow. What people saw was dark fish, flossing, and someone to call unethical. God forbid that fly rodding has now become unethical. I assure you that I will be working over time to disprove this way of thinking throughout the course of this year. Please read film intro text before viewing. This movie has been seen times |

| Eagle Creek Summer PGP QC #2 (5:18) | |
| Qwick clip template film. Catch and release of a stray summer run steelhead that shows up in Eagle Creek. Not all that uncommon but makes for a nice little high water segment. A fly rod with a drift rig is used for this C&R clip. Eagle creek can get as many as 200 of these stray cats on any given year but are not planted or natural to the creek.
